Let's not forget that "poor Claude" (Alex) was a Nazi. Any sympathy ends right there. :)
shareIf he had argued for one second with his mother in favor of Alicia I might of felt a bit sorry for him but he didn't so......
"I say,open this door at once! We're British !"
Actually, Hitchcock's brilliant move is that it really does not end there. Devlin comes off as far more a jerk-hole than Alex. It's why Hitch deliberately keeps the stuff related to their nuclear program and Nazi ideology muted, almost completely irrelevant to the script and the story - it's just the MacGuffin plot in a current (1946) context.
Please nest your IMDB page, and respond to the correct person -
The fact that he was slowly murdering his wife strongly mitigates my ability to sympathize with him.
shareIt's just a great line-you know they might as well had said-"we are going to kill you."
